This is interesting:
azcentral wrote:Williams said the team has been working on Ayton’s shot, particularly from 3, as the plan going into the season was for him to shoot them in games. Ayton didn’t attempt one in the opener, but he worked on his 3-point shot in the offseason and has attempted them in practices and the pick-up games.

Ayton with a 3-point shot would be deadly. Glad he's working on it.
Thanks, carey, for the great news thread as usual.

I thought the interview from this weekend talked about something he is doing in practice, and it is something we may not see until next year. Monty said something about this upcoming offseason.

I wonder what the adjustment will be like for Rubio when Ayton comes back and isn't spacing the floor like Baynes. I think he should be consistent with the 18-20 footer at the very least.
Re: Suns News: Week 5 11/18-11/24
What we lose with Ayton not being as deadly from 3 as Baynes, we'll gain in Ayton being a much more ferocious roll man, fastbreak pass recipient, and alleyoop target. I think they'll figure it out. Rubio and Ayton will connect on a lot of two-man plays this season I think.
Re: Suns News: Week 5 11/18-11/24
If he is rolling from the 3 point line the defenders can just float back into the lane. We know Rubio can't hit 3s either. If both guys running the pick and roll are bad at hitting 3s, the PnR is a lot easier to defend.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 11:52 amWhat we lose with Ayton not being as deadly from 3 as Baynes, we'll gain in Ayton being a much more ferocious roll man, fastbreak pass recipient, and alleyoop target.

We need to stagger Rubio and Booker better anyways. Take Rubio out early and bring him back with the 2nd unit and Baynes.
Re: Suns News: Week 5 11/18-11/24
I actually think Baynes/Booker is a better match up than Baynes/Rubio or Booker/Ayton. If Ayton is going to be rolling, I want Rubio getting him the ball.

I just hate the way they start with "LOSS" in big letters.
Re: Suns News: Week 5 11/18-11/24
I like the shorts. The top is plain, though.
Re: Suns News: Week 5 11/18-11/24
Why does it look nearly identical to last year's City Jerseys, which the exception that the primary color has changed from purple to black?

I was hearing something on the radio about Baynes and Rubio being out tomorrow. Is that correct? If so.. FUCK!
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Too bad our weeks weren't backwards where we missed a week and only 2 games instead of a week at 5 games.
